We stop from time to time at various food stands that line the roads. Sepali will have a hunger for a particular fruit, our driver will request a break for a snack and a stretch or we will see something that catches our eyes. We have enjoyed many mangos, papayas, pineapples, bee honey, jack fruit and bananas during our drives. On this particular drive, Sepali asked our driver to slow down as he passed any stand selling mangos. But only ripe yellow mangos and not too small. He must have slowed in front of a dozen stands before arriving at an acceptable stand.
At this stop, the shop proprietor and his neighbors seemed amused by the western visitors. By the time we got back into our van there must have been at least 10 neighbors standing at the side of the road watching us. He asked that we take a photo and mail it to him.
